[Haskell-cafe] Re: HS-Plugins 1.0 chokes on simple test, WinXP GHC-6.6

[Conal Elliott]

I got hs-plugins to compile fine on  winxp, but now when I run it I get a
crash with this message:

c:/ghc/ghc-6.6/HSbase.o: unknown symbol `_free'

Don mentioned this is a known problem.  Is it on anyone's todo list?

Cheers, - Conal
